My Mother has had a stroke and can't understand anything - Can I get a Power of Attorney for her?

No - a Power of Attorney can only be given by a person who understands what they are signing. If she has lost the ability to understand what is going on then she can not sign a Power of Attorney. Your only solution is to make an application to the Guardianship Tribunal to be appointed Financial Manager of her affairs.
